Enhancing HLS stream download's Accesibility

Postby ikelatomig » Sat Jul 06, 2024 4:03 pm

Currently, When a m3u8 stream URL is added to FDM and quality is selected. It's downloaded as a file of unknown size and we can't pause/resume it.

What do I propose is we can still get the number of segments in a m3u8 stream. So, we can get the count and use it as percentage. Which enhances it and also helps to pause and resume at ease knowing that all stream files are parts just sequentially numbered with .ts extension.

If possible, move this to Feature Suggestions forums board and remove this comment.

Hi developers

Downloading all .ts files separately and merging it to .mp4 file can be possible without using ffmpeg. So there should be an option to merge .ts files to .mp4.

And btw nice suggestions, I think developers should think about it.

Thanks
